Back inside ....

.... after a fun time camping!!  I am drowning in filthy laundry atm - not to mention having had to go in to school for a few days - not fun, it's still supposed to be the holidays.

We had a ball at our annual Mini camping weekend.  The weather was way better than forecast, only one period of sustained rain, one day of completely unexpected sunshine too.  We went to see a birds of prey display on the Saturday afternoon, it was fantabulous.  I'm not that keen on birds at close quarters, but was prepared to make an exception for something like this baby:


And here is my mucky puppy of a son - half an hour after arriving at the campsite, before we had even finished putting up our tent, he fell into a swamp.  My husband took the photo, and for some reason only captured the top half, the bottom half was completely black, wellies full of black mud.  Oh the joys of boys!!  By noon the next day, ALL the boys had fallen into the swamp so many times, we had run out of clean clothes for them.  They were warned (again!) not to go into the swamp, and threatened with girls clothes if they did it again.  That stopped them!!


And here are some of the Minis in a bright green field in the sunshine.  Ours are the two in the foreground of the second pic:



Haven't made any cards in a while, but I've got a few planned in my head, will start one of them tomorrow I hope.

Thanks for looking!
